It is an independent college, which can be said to be public on the surface, because it runs three colleges by two public schools. However, this year, the Ministry of Education stipulated that this independent college will become purely private from this year, because it is self-taught and is not much different from private schools. This is a joint venture between Xi University of Science and Technology and two ordnance units. The school has three boards of directors, which are generally private and together with Xi University of Technology. Most joint schools are private.
